What a post-apocalyptic world whereby grown men have to talk to teenagers using the internet.

So you’re saying “To Catch a Predator” revolutionized recruiting?

Not analogous at all. Politics may be the least merit-based profession in the world. Let’s see who can do a better job of tricking the public! Now campaign managers? That’s a different story

Your saying $23 million Mack Brown does a better job because he is paid more, that is not true. Even if it was true who cares as wouldn’t the players play better if they’re paid using the same logic?

This just isn’t true. Last few years have been lean, but he’s been to two national championship games, winning one

It was the players brah.

Inane statement within the context of college football. The coach is responsible for the entirety of the program

This just isn’t true. Last few years have been lean, but he’s been to two national championship games, winning one

Imagine how much better politicians would be if we paid them $10 million in salary?

Revenue $11,661,727 with expenses as $10,164,038. Without using the profit decreasing coaching salaries and benefits 15% and saving $30,000 on travel (use fucking coupons or something) would be enough to fund the average salary of $330,000 for players.

Let’s take the smallest operating budget with North Texas:
$11,259,222 revenue $18,935,422 in expenses. Well fuck their $7 million in the hole those crazy Mean Green bastards.

$4 million in coaching salary? Team travel is $1.7 million? Is this program run by children? How can you spend that much? $257,000 in recruiting? I am sorry I cannot fix teams run by children. Fuck you North Texas you retarded bastards. With profit sharing, coach capped salary and smarter scheduling I can almost make them break even. If you want to get paid don’t go to North Texas.

You’re cherry picking with your stats, though. Revenue at Texas is far from representative. What were Iowa St.’s numbers? UConn’s? Purdue’s?

The revenue is wholly misleading as they have to spend it. Texas has to blow $23 million on game day expenses alone. The more revenue for a team literally the more money they have to piss away. WSU might take in only a pittance from tickets but still managed to give Mike Leech a $2 million a year contract as the conference has a lucrative TV real with the pac 12.

Mack Brown is the example because he is a terrible coach, a fucking Bluetick Coonhound as coach would have brought in at least same amount of money. No one is paying to see Mack Brown.

Blueticks are awesome though. If Tejas were bring a bluetick in, it would just be another attempt to copy the real UT.

Enough to pay the players or pay more into the tuition fund and it would be the same.

Exactly. I consider that money well spent

in 2008 Texas athletic department spent $17 million on coaching, $7 million into tuition and took in $44 million in ticket sales.

Only 32 jobs, but that’s beside the point. I’m unsure who you’re blaming. Why would schools be doling out such big money if it didn’t make financial sense?

Not a rational market.

Good coaches can get paid in the NFL. Charlie Weis got paid $2.5 million this year not including benefits.

One of these things is not like the other.

I like your description of him yesterday as Portly Charlie. That should stick.

Ya, but I’m assuming there is less competition within the charity executive market. To use the most extreme example, Alabama is exponentially more well-off paying Saban’s exorbitant salary than it would be paying peanuts to a fledgling coach
